Wyden Statement on Emails Released by Donald Trump, Jr., Showing Ties Between Trump Associates and Russia
Washington, D.C. –Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., issued the following statement on emails released by Donald Trump, Jr., today:
“Based on the emails that Donald Trump, Jr., released, the highest levels of the Trump campaign walked, eyes open, into a meeting designed to advance the Russian government’s support for Donald Trump. These emails show there is no longer a question of whether this campaign sought to collude with a hostile foreign power to subvert America’s democracy. The question is how far the coordination goes. It is now up to elected officials of both parties to stand up and do their duty: protect and defend the Constitution.”
